MINING BUREAU ISSUES
CIRCULAR WITH RESULT
OF YEARS OF RESEARCH
| Over 600 Standards Recommended |
| to Coal Mining Industry to |
Safeguard Workers
| A list of more than 600 standards |
{which are being ‘recommended-to the |
{coal mining industry for safeguard- |
| ing the health and lives of miners and |
| improving operating efficiency has|
| been compiled by the Bureau of Mines
as part of its program of improving
{health and safety in and around coal |
mines, Dr. R. R. Sayers, director ot |
the bureau, informed Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes recently,
| Drawing from a wealth of experi- |
jence gained from more than three |
| decades of research in the coal fields.
{and in the laboratory, Bureau experts |
|designed the list for use of federal |
{coal mine inspectors, mine operators
|and miners.
Operating under the Federal Coal|
[Mine Inspection Act of 1941, the fed-
eral inspectors have gone into the
|iela to investigate conditions in coal
mines and to offer recommendations

| peace-time production program to fol- |
low.
Dr. Sayers informed Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes that
there is wide variation in health and
| safety regulations in the states and
that the Bureau's standards are far
I more comprehensive than any state
| laws. The standards enumerated by
| the bureau, which have been published
in pamphlet form, are subject to mod-
| ification to keep apace with changes
in mining methods.
“Compieiion of the pamphlet marks
the first time that so many proven
health and safety recommendations
dealing with coal mines have ap-
peared in one publication,” Dr. Sayers
added. "The publication explains in
a clear-cut manner methods advocat-
ed by the Bureau—methods which
have been adopted in many mines and
which are paying dividends in lives
saved and in more economical
duction of coal.”
The publication was prepared by
committee of several of ti ex
perienced s ty engineers of the
Health and fety Branch of the
Bureau which is headed by Dan Har
pro-
on. The coal mine inspection

Since its establishment in 1910, the |
Bureau has given first aid training |
to more than one and one-half million
persons in the mineral industries of
the Nation.
“All employes (underground and
surface), should be given first aid
| training as soon as possible after be- |
ing employed,” the circular advises. |
“Additional first aid training should |
be given all employes annually.” |
The publication also stresses the |
importance of joint safety meetings |
of officials and employes in prevent- |
ing the large number of accidents in|
|
the coal mining industry.
Falls of roof and coal, which cause |
approximately one-half the accidents |
in coal mines, can be prevented by
proper and adequate timbering, the |
Bureau has found. There are 26 pre-
scribed practices listed in the publi-
cation under the topic “Timbering.
Mechanization of mines and th
widespread use of electricity to power
machinery have increased hazards
in the industry. As a result, the]
Bureau lists 63 points under the topic
